Actions to Help End Horse Slaughter on Voices for Horses Day

November 16th is Voices for Horses Day and we need your help in taking critical actions for American horses being killed for meat. This cruelty must end now!

Every year, over 30,000 horses are sent by the US to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. They are crammed onto transport trucks without food or water for over 24 hours. They arrive at the slaughterhouse scared and covered in injuries caused by stressed animals biting and kicking to show dominance. Once inside, they are often slaughtered while conscious due to ineffective stunning.

The majority of Americans disagree with the consumption of meat from horses. Yet there is currently no permanent federal ban on the exportation or slaughter of American horses.

Tweet US Congress Leaders

Be a part of the public pressure aimed at Speaker Pelosi, Representative McCarthy, Senator McConnell and Senator Schumer—the leaders of the US House & Senate.

Demand they place a permanent federal ban on the slaughter of horses from the US.
